With more snow and frigid temperatures on the way – at least where I’m typing, here in the Mid-Atlantic United States – I’m thinking it might be cheering for some to reflect that it’s actually summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Who am I to deny the pleasure? This week on “Sweetness and Light,” I invite you to think warm thoughts as we take a musical journey to Latin America.

Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru will be represented in works by Agustín Barrios, Theodoro Valcárcel Caballero, Camargo Guarnieri, Astor Piazzolla, and Heitor Villa-Lobos.

We’ll cap the hour back in New York with more cowbell and Morton Gould’s vibrant “Latin-American Symphonette.”

Join the conga line. It’s a South American getaway on “Sweetness Light,” this Saturday morning at 11:00 EST/8:00 PST, exclusively on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
